I don’t have words…. This book is the cutest book I have read in some time. It has the tropes I want the story I want to follow. Give me bridgerton with men with fae like abilities. Eryx Demos is the new book boyfriend for me!!!

I can’t wait to get a physical copy of this book!!
Thank you again for letting me experience this book.

This book was so enchanting and intricately written. I loved the cast of characters and the way we were introduced to them throughout the story. I do feel like some of the world building could have been flushed out just a tad more, but overall this was a really fun piece of work to delve into. I definitely recommend reading The Shadows Between Us before delving into this book.

Ahhhhh! It was so good this is the story I didn't know I needed. 100% will be reccomending to Everyone I know! I loved the story, the world building and meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it.

I was OBSESSED with The Shadows Between Us, and when I saw that there was another novel coming out, I was thrilled to jump back into the world. This book was a good solid read, and while I really liked it as a whole. The “woe is me, I’m a female you have no idea how hard it is being a woman.” bit was so heavy handed that I was rolling my eyes for a majority of it. But the world is so fun and the twists were interesting. The ending did end up feeling rushed, and the fantasy element didn’t seem to quite fit the world… but was shocking.
All of that aside, Crysantha was a fun character to read about and I enjoyed hearing her side of the story after having read The Shadows Between Us. Eryx was such a captivating character that he even left me feeling frustrated, like Crysantha. The is no doubt that he was a good match for Crysantha and that they complimented each other well. Which in turn did make for a fun romance to read. The inclusion of Alessandra and Kallias was a nice touch, and I was so glad to see part of their married life. Overall, this was a decent addition to the world, I just wish the ending and the fantasy elements were a little more hashed out...
Thank you to Edelweiss+ for the digital ARC.
